Released on "Spot The Pigeon E.P.", 1977.Who put fifty tons of shit on the Foreign Office roof?Who suffers from nine known diseases?Who gets up in the morning when the sun comes upAnd makes their beds, paper clips, bus ticketsAll around their heads?Who congregate around Trafalgar SquareTaking pot shots at the tourists?Oh you've got to watch outWhen you wander round the square in the morningCos they're everywhere, they're everywhereHere we have an honest manA civil servant to bootHe lived high up in the MinistryAnd when he wished to make a pointHe knew just what to doHis window ledges were all covered in grease"I want them out of here"He said to me, "I want them gone"Because you see - Oh don't you seeNone of us are getting any youngerYou've got to follow your noseAnd if it tells you that you've got to goWell that's because, they're everywhere,They're everywhereSo we called in those men, those horrible menWe set them to work on the rooftopsYou see their van is very plainAnd I know they're too ashamedTo wear their by appointment badges anymoreSometimes they use vaseline, sometimes they use the pillI've often seen them with a gunBut as the years go by, old habits seem to dieAnd nowadays they knockatize them allOh you've got to watch outAs you wander round the square in the morning
